1775, Discussion on FWD vs. AWD; Traction vs. Drivetrain loss Posted by 420a-Tnthewerks, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I've been really thinking about selling the GST to have money to move and go to college. Now, the only way I would do this is if I get a GSX(or maybe GST) down the road, when money flowing in, or just sell it and get the GSX now :), or keep the GST and keep modding it.
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS:
Right now traction isn't a huge issue(launches suck though). I've always wondered how much difference(if any) in highway performance between the FWD and AWD there is. Someday I'd wish to have 350-400WHP, I know the GST would dominate most cars on the highway with that, but on the other hand, 1st and 2nd gear wouldn't be much use. My thought is with 350-400HP(don't know about AWHP) with the GSX, the drivetrain loss wouldn't matter, because, well, it's 400HP. What I'm getting at is, somebody race a 400HP GST vs. a 400HP GSX :). I'd like you AWD guy's opinions on the drivetrain loss aspect.
